w00t, glad to see I'm not alone as well. 8)
I could imagine playing it on a console would be a little difficult. Agree about the scenarios. I like to go in to a fresh park, maybe with a ride or two, and build it up from scratch. A lot of RCT2 scenarios were about fixing up pre-established parks or paying back loans - boring. And the scenarios for RCT3? Forget about it. Way too easy and boring. Luckily there is the ability to create custom scenarios, and I was able to find some of the originals that people had recreated. They are
here if you're interested and hadn't already found them.
Hooray for massive coaster crash explosions -
kaboom! <-- lol! I've never seen that happen before. At least you gave the riders a proper burial, I was always just annoyed that people were apprehensive to go on that ride for a while and give me money.
